Question

2-8. how many tenths are in one whole? how many hundredths? homework help

Explanation:

Step1: Recall fraction - whole relationship

A tenth is $\frac{1}{10}$. To find how many tenths in 1, we divide 1 by $\frac{1}{10}$.
$1\div\frac{1}{10}=1\times\frac{10}{1}=10$.

Step2: Recall hundredths - whole relationship

A hundredth is $\frac{1}{100}$. To find how many hundredths in 1, we divide 1 by $\frac{1}{100}$.
$1\div\frac{1}{100}=1\times\frac{100}{1}=100$.

Answer:

There are 10 tenths in one whole and 100 hundredths in one whole.
